Canon Marketing Malaysia Sdn Bhd introduces the Océ Colorado 1640, the first 64-inch roll-to-roll large format printer which uses Canon’s new UVgel technology to deliver exceptional productivity for high quality indoor and outdoor graphics.
The Océ Colorado 1640 has been engineered to provide customers with high quality prints, fast printing speed, lower cost of operation, automated maintenance and ability to print on a wide range of media.
Printing at the speed of 159 m2 per hour, the Océ Colorado 1640 is the fastest 64” roll-to-roll printer in the world.
“As a leader in digital imaging solutions, Canon is aware of the demands within the commercial printer segment for imaging technology that produces faster, more flexible output, while maintaining superior quality.
“The Océ Colorado 1640, built on our UVgel technology, is testament to Canon’s culture of innovation; we remain committed to providing effective solutions to help customers improve their business productivity and realise new revenue opportunities,” said Canon Marketing Malaysia president and chief executive officer, Andrew Koh.
Canon’s UVgel ink offers a large colour gamut, odourless, environmentally safe and dry instantly upon LED curing which is suitable for immediate post-processing and lamination, further improving end-to-end productivity.
“The Océ Colorado 1640 with its Canon UVgel technology allows for a reduced operational cost with up to 40 percent less ink usage and almost a third less in manpower costs thanks to the automation built in the printer which allows print service providers to be more competitive,” said Canon Marketing Malaysia head of the professional printing products division, Albert Mah.
Canon Marketing Malaysia has also recently introduced the Océ VarioPrint 6000 TITAN series, a range of cut-sheet monochrome production presses.
“The Océ VarioPrint 6000 TITAN series is ideal for the most demanding monochrome production jobs - its significant speed, reliability and uptime produces high volumes efficiently with enhanced print quality and media versatility.
“The printer also improves sustainability with a 30 per cent lower overall energy consumption compared to competitors, close to zero ozone emissions, lower heat and lower noise output for a better working environment,” Mah added.
The introduction of the Océ Colorado 1640 and VarioPrint 6000 TITAN series are part of Canon’s Professional Printing Products line-up that feature end-to-end solutions for commercial printers to navigate the complexities and high demand of production printing.
